How did a Viking child choose what they wanted to be when they grew up?
Male Viking children would, for the most part, “apprentice” in the skills of their father, whether it was as a jewelry maker, storyteller, or shipbuilder. It was a part of their life and growing up. Viking girls would learn the skill needed to manage a farm, house livestock, knitting and weaving and sewing, managing the family money or barter. Women in the Viking’s day were quite powerful, holding the keys to the familys valuables and participating in decisions on a regular basis.
